FAQ
What this
means is that, while you claim all of your income as a Kentucky resident, you can also claim significant deductions (in
all likelihood) for the time you were away from your tax home (the metro area
in Kentucky where you are based). As a
Kentucky resident, the bad news is that all of your income must be claimed (and
taxed) by Kentucky. However, the
deductions you claim should substantially lower this.
To claim
these deductions, you will want to see all you can claim by using the following
link to What
Travel Expenses are Deductible? from IRS Pub. 463. A lot of information, perhaps, but well worth
your effort as it could mean substantial tax savings.
To claim
these deductions you will need to use Form 2106, which you can find in TurboTax
using this FAQ: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4800418. (If you choose to use this form, you will not
be able to use the Free Edition, but it should be worth the investment).
For the state
returns, you will have only two: a
Kentucky resident return and an Ohio nonresident reciprocal return. Your work done in Ohio is only taxed in
Kentucky, so if you paid Ohio tax you will get it all back. Tennessee and Florida do not have state tax,
and no return is required for either.
